Trump reveals his 'biggest surprise' so far in Iran war

President Donald Trump has been surprised by Iran's response to joint U.S.-Israel airstrikes that took out their supreme leader.

The 79-year-old president spoke to CNN's Jake Tapper for a nine-minute phone interview Monday morning to discuss his order over the weekend to decapitate Iranian leadership, and Trump said he was surprised that Iran had retaliated by striking other Arab countries in the region, including Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

“We were surprised,” Trump said.
